Abstract (en)

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may comprise: a first housing; a second housing of which the position relative to the first housing changes on the basis of a sliding movement of the first housing; a flexible display including a first area and a second area, which extends from the first area and can be bent or rolled; a support structure which is coupled to the flexible display so as to support at least a part of the flexible display, and which includes a plurality of bars; and a guide rail for guiding the movement of the plurality of bars on the basis of the sliding movement of the first housing. Each of the plurality of bars comprises a frame and a header formed on an end portion of the frame, wherein, when the second area of the flexible display is bent or rolled, the headers of at least two adjacent bars can be arranged to at least partially overlap with each other. Each of the headers can comprise at least one pole of which at least a portion is accommodated in the guide rail.
